(ve var is prakar haian- haihayaraj bola-) ‘maian shrimanh, manasvi, balavan, satyavadi, adoshadarshi tatha sahustr bhujaoan se vibhooshit hoooan, yah mere liye pahala var hai. ‘maian jarayuj aur andaj jivoan ke sath-sath samast charachar jagat ka dharmapoorvak shasan karana chahata hooan’ mere liye doosara vah yahi ho. ‘maian anek prakar ke yajnoan dvara devataoan, rrishiyoan, pitaroan tatha brahman atithiyoan ka yajan karooan aur jo log mere shatru haian, unhean samaraangan mean tikhe banoan dvara marakar yam lok pahuancha dooan.’ bhagavan dattatrey! mere liye yahi tisara var ho. ‘jisake saman ihalok ya svargalok mean koee purush n tha, n hai aur n hoga hi, vahi mera vadh karane vala ho’ (yah mere liye chautha var ho). vah arjun raja kritaviry ka jyeshth putr tha yuddh mean mahan shaury ka parichay deta tha. usane mahishmati nagari mean das lakh varsho tak nirantar abhyudashil hokar rajy kiya. jaise akash mean soory dev sada prakashaman hote haian, usi prakar kritaviry arjun sari prithvi aur samudi dvipoan ko jitakar is bhootal par apane punyakarmoan se prakashit ho raha tha. shaktishali sahasrabahu ne indradvip, kasherudvip, tamradvip, gabhastiman dvip, gandharvadvip, varunadvip aur saumyaksh dvip ko, jinhean usake poorvajoan ne bhi nahian jita tha, jitakar apane adhikar mean kar liya.

kritaviry arjun dvara shasan v lokahit kary

usaka shreshth rajabhavan bahut hi sundar aur sara ka sara suvarnamay tha. usane apane rajy ki ay ko char bhagoan mean baant rakha tha aur is vibhajan ke anusar hi vah praja ka palan karata tha. vah us ay ke ek aansh ke dvara sena ka sangrah aur sanrakshan karata tha, doosare ash ke dvara grihasthi ka kharch chalata tha tatha usaka jo tisara aansh tha, usake dvara raja arjun praja janoan ki bhalaee ke liye yajnoan ka anushthan karata tha. vah sabaka vishvasapatr aur param kalyanakari tha. vah rajakiy ay ke chauthe aansh ke dvara gaanvoan aur jangaloan mean dakuoan aur luteroan ko shasan poorvak rokata tha. kritaviryakumar arjun usi dhan ko achchha manata tha, jise usane apane bal-parakram dvara prapt kiya ho. kak ya mooshakavritti se jo log praja ke dhan ka apaharan karate the, un sabako vah nasht kar deta tha. usake rajy ke bhitar gaanvoan tatha nagaroan mean ghar ke daravaje band nahian kiye jate the. rajan! kartaviry arjun hi samooche rashtr ka poshak, striyoan ka sanrakshak, bakariyoan ki raksha karane vala tatha gauoan ka palak tha. vahi jangaloan mean manushyoan ke khetoan ki raksha karata tha. yah hai kritaviry ka adbhut kary, jisaki manushyoan se tulana nahian ho sakati hai. n pahale ka koee raja kritaviryaki kisi mahatta ko prapt kar saka aur n bhavishy mean hi kaee prapt kar sakega. vah jab samudr mean chalata tha, tab usaka vastr nahian bhiangata tha. raja arjun dattatrey ji ke kripa prasad se lakhoan varsh tak prithvi par shasan karate hue is prakar rajy ka palan karata raha. is prakar usane lokahit ke liye bahut se kary kiye. bharatashreshth! yah maianne bhagavan vishnu ke dattatrey namak avatar ka varnan kiya.
